Gender equality is a complex topic, which can discourage people of any gender from addressing it in the workplace. However, as one of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (Goal 5) and as a fundamental human right, gender equality has become increasingly essential to capital markets.
This UN SSE Training on Gender Equality and Global Capital Markets guides participants through the complexities with four modules that take a step-by-step approach that anyone can use to enhance gender equality in markets.
Participants will build awareness of sustainable finance through understanding the financial implications of gender inequality, improving corporate reporting and literacy on gender equality, and identifying market opportunities that these improvements afford.
